Several Aston Villa players to miss Cardiff City match

Delph still a question as several Aston Villa players to miss Cardiff City match.

Despite the fact that the "easy" part of Aston Villa's schedule is coming up, fans won't be able to relax quite yet, as numerous injuries and bugs are still plaguing the team ahead of Saturday's match against Cardiff City. The big news that everyone on twitter was talking about was the fact that Andi Weimann will likely not play on Saturday thanks to the tweaked hamstring he suffered in the draw against West Ham last weekend. Gabby Agbonlahor will also miss the match. Agbonlahor is still trying to cope with an ankle injury, and will miss his second weekend in a row.

The big story here is the fact that Fabian Delph has still not been ruled ready to play. Apparently whatever bug was giving him trouble last week has been lingering, preventing him from being pencilled into Paul Lambert's starting XI on Saturday. He's not certainly out, either, though. Lambert said that he will wait until tomorrow to make a decision on the player who has been Aston Villa's brightest spot this season.

Antonio Luna and Joe Bennett will also miss the match on Saturday with the same injuries that kept them out last weekend.
